Samsung 28" S271HL U28E590D 4K UHD Monitor: See all of your photo's details during editing. Video game levels look amazing. The large screen allows you to have multiple windows open at once to get more work done.

Q: What is the connection(s) from tower to monitor ?
A: The "best answer" up there is wrong. There are three connections but only two types. HDMI (x2) and Display Port (x1). And only the display port is capable of 4k resolution at 60hz
Q: Anyone using this for video editing?
A: Bought this monitor to edit 4k videos at home(3840 pixels × 2160 @ 60hz). I use Adobe Premier and Cyberlink PowerDirector. Monitor works great. But for professional editing, then try to get a 32" and up. We have a Samsung 85" 4k QMD85D TV at work that I needed to edit content for and a large format monitor helps reproduce and view content imperfections. Also, this monitor has AMD Fressync that only works with select AMD Radeon (R9) video cards cards. If you have a Nvidia GTX, than look for a GSync monitor.
Q: connecting to an iMac system
A: Hello Dave, I have a MacBook Pro Retina that I use with two of these monitors. They didn't look that good until I plugged them in with active Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters. Don't know if that will help you or not.
Q: Is it matte or glossy monitor?
A: The monitor has a matte screen.
Q: Does the 26x19" measurement include the stand, or is that the exact size of the monitor?
A: Yes the 26 x 19 includes the table mount the actual screen viewing area is 24.5x13.5 and 28 from corner to corner. If you really want my opinion about this purchase? I think this is one of the best investments for the amount of time I spend working behind the computer. I love the graphics, pictures, and gaming is almost life like at times. I would not hesitate to purchase this product. Heck you could use this as a TV if you watch movies from your computer. Talking about clarity... Ok enough about what I think. Hope this helps you decide.
A: Yes it will but 4k is better appreciated in bigger screens such as 55 or bigger. It still looks great on this monitor but due to the small size smaller details will not look as good as it would in bigger 4k tvs. offcourse you can only notice the difference if you own both this monitor and a good 4k TV,otherwise you would not be able to tell the difference and using this 4k monitor to watch movies would seems great to you
A: If you download the PDF manual from the Samsung website- you will find the statement: Select your Displayport. Displayport 1.1 supports High Bit Rate 1, while 1.2 supports High Bit Rate 2. So the monitor only supports DP1.1 or DP1.2 - not DP1.4 as someone mentioned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Resolution_and_refresh_frequency_limits_for_DisplayPort 60Hz @ 4K -> 12.54 Gbit/s for DP1.2 only. If you compare to HDMI 2( use port 2: port 1 is HDMI 1.4) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI 60Hz@ 4K 12.54 Gbit/s - works the same..
A: I use this for my gaming monitor on my PlayStation 4 with HDMI. For some reason, they only have support for 4K on the HDMI 2 port, but it works great. No reason to think it wouldn't work with the Xbox One X in the same way.
